Dark Knight or Gunbreaker

[Yeastyloins]

Hi y’all I’m playing a Roe female dragoon and having a blast. I used to play wow and main dk for dark class and lore. Now I only play ff14 with other games and I want to unlock dark knight and reaper. I’m not in heavensward yet but I will be and I really want to try dk. However some people say to go gunbreaker for a dps main like me. I want to get dark knight but should I go to gunbreaker? Also I’m still stucking with dragoon and reaper but I want to ask dk mains is it a fun class?

Can you weave oGCDs fine and not have issues moving while doing that and tanking? Then both are good options. GNB is more busy if you want to play it more optimally but DRK is the highest dps tank provided you understand it and do some cursed stuff. Give em a try and look up their rotation. For me GNB feels super rewarding getting your weaves and your burst done.

I hope I’m not making anyone angry. I’m excited to try dk and gunbreaker but I wanted peoples opinion on jobs. Maybe dk might get a update one day.

then DRK. Big ass sword

lThey'll technically get access to DRK first but it starts at level 30 so they'd have to retread old ground and do content they just completed before they progress anymore msq
Whereas if they wait til 60 they can swap to GNB right away and progress through msq as a GNB

There isn't a clear-cut one you get access to "first".

Because DRK requires MSQ progress to Heavensward, then there's a fair chance of hitting level 60 before reaching HW, at which point GNB becomes available sooner.

OP's character info says they've already hit level 60, so they can pick up GNB right now.

Nothing makes people on this forum angrier than the suggestion that someone might be enjoying the game.

GNB has a more involved rotation and does slightly more damage over an entire fight, I would also say its overall kit is a bit more versatile than DRK as DRK has an abundance of a damage only moves and not too much in terms of utility, and what it does has honestly has to be very well understood to maximize the use of. Pro tip if someone tells you Dark Mind is a bad skill their opinion should be discarded.

DRK is a lot more simplified, and honestly less clunky as a result. It also has a much higher synergy with big burst windows so its going to barf out damage harder than any class in the game (except ninja) at the start of any fight.

I personally prefer DRK over GNB, but nothings stopping you from playing both

Big Girl + Big Sword = Big Fun. The same can be said of Big Girl + Big Axe.
